Parking and traffic management changes
From 1 April 2023, Hampshire County Council will take responsibility for on-street parking enforcement. This does not include council owned and managed car parks. Hampshire County Council will also be responsible for residents' parking permits, parking controls including yellow lines, disabled parking bay applications and access protection markings.

Parking Permits
A number of parking permits are available for residents and workers in the borough.
Please be advised, there might be parking restrictions at your property which will prevent us from approving your application.
More information can be found on our parking permits page here.
Parking Fine
A parking fine is also know as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). These are issued when your vehicle breaks parking regulations.
You can pay a parking fine online or if you feel that you have been issued a PCN incorrectly, you may challenge it in writing within 14 days.
Disabled parking and blue badges
Hampshire County Council is responsible for the issue of all blue badges in the borough.
The blue badge scheme provides a national range of parking concessions for disabled people with severe mobility problems who have difficulty using public transport.
It is designed to help severely disabled people to travel independently, as either a driver or passenger, by allowing them to park close to their destination.
Apply or renew a blue badge online - GOV.UK
Alternatively, an application form can be downloaded from the Hampshire County Council
The application process can be tracked online, and includes questions to check your eligibility for a blue badge. All badges are issued by Hampshire County Council and cost £10 to cover administration and production.
Disabled Parking Bays
From 1 April all new applications are now being directed to HCC.
Please email traffic.management@hants.gov.uk to apply for a Disabled Driver Bay
Nuisance and abandoned vehicles
Abandoned vehicles often get confused with nuisance vehicles. An abandoned vehicle is always a nuisance, but a nuisance vehicle is not always abandoned.
Examples of a nuisance vehicles include, poor parking, causing obstruction or broken down.
Nuisance vehicles will not be dealt with by the council.
Public streets are for the passage of people and traffic and no one has a right to park on any specific part of the highway. You have no right to park your car (or any other possession including trailers, caravans or boats) on the road outside your front door and the council is under no obligation to provide you with a space.
If you own a caravan then our advice is that you should arrange storage on a reputable site in the vicinity.
If you own a boat then our advice is that you should arrange storage at a local sailing club or boat park.
A car parked on the road e.g. outside your house, for a few days is probably not abandoned. It is worth checking to see if it is taxed, you can check if the car is taxed on the GOV.UK website.
If it is taxed and in good condition and parked on the public highway, it is unlikely to be abandoned.
A vehicle that isn’t taxed should be reported to the DVLA as should a vehicle which has a statutory off road notice (SORN) but remains on the public highway.
A vehicle that doesn’t look roadworthy may have been abandoned so you should report it to us.
